Faith no more
Earlier this year, Andrew Zak Williams asked public figures why they believe in God. Now it’s the turn of the atheists – from A C Grayling to P Z Myers – to explain why they don’t.
No, Virginia, There Is No Santa Claus
“Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in The Sun it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?”

LGBT Community Mockingly Apologizes for Ruining [Roman Catholic Republican] Rep. Amy Koch’s Marriage
After the anti-gay-marriage advocate [Roman Catholic Republican] Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch resigned (she cheated on her husband with a Senate staffer), the LGBT community of Minnesota apologized to [Roman Catholic Republican] Koch for threatening her “traditional marriage” and pushing her towards an “illicit affair with her staffer. . . “
Forgive us. As you know, we are not church-going people, so we are unable to fully appreciate that “gay marriage” is incompatible with Christian values, despite the fact that those values carry a biblical tradition of adultery such as yours. We applaud you for keeping that tradition going.

Right-wing Christians are waging a war on non-believers’ right not to have religion shoved down their throats. . .
The “war on Christmas” victim narrative usually tries to obscure what’s really at stake: the promotion of Christianity at the expense of other faiths and non-belief. . .
Essentially, the Christian Right wants the government to back its religion. . .
If we wanted to borrow from the Christian Right’s hyperbolic framing, a “war on Atheists” or “war on Secularism” would be a more appropriate title for the holiday season, and all year-round.
Are the .01% Capitalists?
The super-rich might not be so outraged by accusations that they haven’t earned their money fairly if they didn’t know it was true. . .
Many of today’s super-rich, particularly in the financial sector, have achieved their wealth in ways that are fundamentally anti-capitalist. As a consequence, people are justifiably wondering whether we have an economy that operates on the principles of capitalism or of oligarchy. . .
Are the rich and successful the creators of wealth and jobs for all of us, or are they the predators and moochers (Ayn Rand’s term in Atlas Shrugged), the reverse Robin Hoods who succeed by finding ways to redistribute wealth upwards?
